Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra
76.8mm (3.02in) · Mar 2024 · Rank #137
7+14+15+12+9+3+3+0+3+0 = 66
EDITORIAL: Asus has added this Zenfone Ultra in 2024 and in 2025 they put away itâs more compact (and more interesting) smaller model. So it looks like they gave up on the âcompact phoneâ idea and are turning towards more crowded and stiffer competition space. This, first Ultra of theirs was a good effort. (It you can still find it)
PROs
good SD 8 Gen 3 performance, great 2-day battery endurance with fast (40 minute to 100%) charging, bright 144Hz refresh rate screen, IP68 water protection.
CONs
76.8mm & 228gr size, not-so-Ultra-photo and video performance, no expandable storage, no desktop replacement software and just two years of OS updates policy. (updated Apr 2, 2025)
Vivo V40 Pro
75.1mm (2.96in) · Aug 23, 2024 · Rank #134
7+11+13+12+12+5+3+0+3+0 = 66
* TOP Selfie
EDITORIAL: The V40 Pro punches above it's weight - it is a big upgrade of V30 Pro and signals Vivo's big ambitions for the midrange V line. The build is lovely - a 7.6mm thick glass-sandwich, processor is flagship grade Mediatec, there is reverse wireless charging, very reliable 4 50MP camera setup and V40 Pro could be the first phone to spot IP69 protection (months before arrival of OnePlus 13).
PROs
very thin, fast Mediatec 9200+ with UFS 3.1 performance, >30hr endurance from a 5500mAh Si-C battery with sub-45min 80W charging, 1300nits bright 450ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, flagship grade imaging from a 50MP 24mm main + 50MP 50mm tele (both with OIS PDAF) + 50MP 15mm AF ultrawide (all with Zeiss optics) and a ring-LED flash setup, excellent 50MP 21mm AF selfie, very good video recording (from the main camera), stabile and feature rich Funtouch OS and a very good speaker system sound
CONs
plastic frame is not everyone's cup, no wireless charging, no expandable memory, short OS support, no desktop replacement feature, slow USB-C 2.0, limited market availability
